Question / Help Poster Frame visible in Scene in Multiview?

[rickbooneaudio]

Hi, new user here-is there a way to have OBS Studio display the poster frame of a media file as opposed to the first frame of the clip? In most (of my) cases, the first frame is black and there's no visual cue as to what the clip actually is. I know I can name them, but to be able to actually see there's a clip in there (and what it is) would be very reassuring.

There's a simple workaround. Load the Scene containing the mediafile. Activate it, take a screenshot (right-click-media-source) out of the running video, drag it into the scene, put in the very back (downmost place in the list). from now on, that screenshot will be displayed in preview mode.
